The Union Pacific Railway company, in
view of the going into effect on the LIST OF
April of the new interstate commerce
law, has given notice to all holders of
passes on the line of its railroad that the
passes will not be regarded or honored
after that date. In consequence of this.
many holders of passes are taking time
by the forelock' and returning them to

ously improving the time, and are travel

WANTED A LAW MADE.
''Jess Make a Law Agin Glenn Jones
Jedgev

Mrs. Mary Jones, whom some people
have irreverently called the "Great
Eastern" waltzed in before Judge Lee
yesterday, and exclaimed: jess make a
law agin Glen Jones, Judge, an doan
care if you hang himl"
Judge Lee stated that he didn't know
whether he had time Just then to make a
new law, but he supposed he could if it
were necessary. He also stated that he
had serious doubts as to whether a law
made by him without the assistance of
legislature or the city council would be
very effective, especially at this time of
the year.
Judge Lee asked the wrathful Mary to
explain what the difficulty was, which she
did in a hurried aud desultory manner,
the outcome of the whole matter being
that "Clem" Jones (who is her husband)
would neither stay at home when she
wanted him to, or stay way when she
didn't want him to come home. AN |
tell YOU" said Mary, in conclusion,
"somethin' hab got to be done with that
niggahl 70 he is getting to be a mos
wuthlcss, good 70 nothin' coon. Yo
heah me-
1t having been suggested to Mary that
she ought to get a divorce from Glenn"
she stated that only a few minutes before
she entered court a prominent Official had
offered to put up" all the money that
would be necessary for that purpose.
This created something of IL laugh among
those present, as she gave the name of the
gentleman. On further consultation Mary
made a complaint against Glen for
creating a disturbance and breach of the
peace, and as she withdrew from the
court room she asserted in the most vigor-
GUS terms that she hoped they would
hang that coon, an il they did she would
pull at one end of the rope"

CALABoosE ~cHERUBUns.,
a Quartette Who Receive Judicial
Attention.

The police made a fine round up Of cal
aboose candidates yesterday, and toward
night, n by one, they were escorted
into the presence of Judge Lee by Officer
Thomasson.
First came Glenn Jones, who had been
arrested early in the day, and the docu-
ment which had been sworn to by Mary
Jones, his wife, to which he promptly re-
sponded that he wasn't guilty ''of muffin. :"
There being no time to hear his case yes
terdav, he was remanded to the calaboose
until this afternoon, at which time his case
will be judicially investigated.
Next came Charles Stetson. a cowboy
who got altogether too rantankerous in
the matter Of riding about the city and
cutting capers with his broncho. He
pleaded guilty to the charge of fast riding,
was fined SO, including costs. and no,
having that amount with him, he was
rendered the liberties OF the tug"
Mike Tooney came in next. Mike had
been so drunk that it had been impossible
for him to lean up against the side of the
dooryard successfully. Mike said he had
been drunk, Thomasson said he had been
drunk, and the court said the same thing,
the result being that Mike, for several
days, will receive callers at the calaboose
If he has any.
Pat Regan was next on the docket. Pat
is a great hand to go around the city and
empty cast off beer kegs and drink the
unsavory contents, and having been re-
leased from Jail but a few days ago, he
has been plying his cid trade with such
success that he is now shaking and trem-
bling on the verge of dclirium tremens
He was charged with being a ''vag," and
the court fined him $50. Pat suggested
that it ought to be 800. He was taker
below and locked up by Policeman Thorn
asson, who, as a matter of humanity, anG
in view of his suffering condition, pro.
cured for and gave him drink of whisky
This completed the ''cherubum'' calendar
in Judge Lees court.
, 1887-03-04
Wanted to Know.

The other day an offender was arraigned
before Judge Lee and pleaded not guilty.
As it was near night and there being no
time to try to the case then, especially as
it was to be contested, Judge Lee directed
that the offender be taken back to the
calaboose until the next day. Jessie Lee,
the pretty daughter of the judge, was
present and heard the remark: Take
him back to the calaboose," and after the
officer had gone with the prisoner she
said to her father: PA, how do you do
when the prisoners say they amt guilty.
Do you send them back to the calaboose
until they are guilty"
BILLY" didn' hardly know how to
answer that question.

If he can pull through to-day all right,
the chances are that he will recover.

Catarrh in its destructive force stands next to

therefore singular that those afflicted with this
fearful disease should not make 1t the object of
their lives TO rid themselves Of it, Deceptive
remedies ccncocted by ignorant ~pretenders to
medical knowledge have weakened the conf
dencc of the great majority OF sufferers in all al
verified remedies. They become resigned to a
life OF misery rather than fortune themselves
with doubtful palliatives.
But this will never do. Catarrh must be met
at every stage and combated with all our might.
In many cases the disease has assumed danger
Gus symptoms. The bones and cartilage Of the
nose, the organs ofhearing, OF seeing and tasting
- affected rs TO be useless, the uyula 10 elonga-
